step 1: get openrisc to run on m1. step 2: make m1 multicore with lm32. step 3: convert one core to openrisc. step 4: brag about it in public. step 5: see if anyone can come up with an explanation why such a thing would make sense ;-)

more seriously, milkymist switching to openrisc would make sense, it would lift some weights of the milkymist projects shoulders; we've got an upstream linux port, people working on the gnu toolchain (following upstream), no lattice people boosting about them being "official maintainers" ;)

lekernel: have you seen my comments about monitors with built-in touch screens ? there seem to be some quite decent models on the market now, mainly by iiyama. that should be a nice platform to develop your new gui and the things underneath.

(monitor+touch) i find the idea of having a separate control surface very appealing. we've discussed that before. and the reduction from a tablet to a monitor is a welcome simplification. so i like the mirteo idea that far.
